Match Report - Tottenham Hotspur Under 19 v Chelsea U19 - 27 Sep 2003

U18 Academy South

The in-form striker (pictured right) beat two players before driving in what turned out to be the winning goal after 30 minutes.

Coach Pat Holland takes up the story: "It was a better performance than last week.We brought in four of the third years in to bolster us a bit and in fairness, Chelsea had a young side.

"We started well, looked bright, created chances but it took until the 30th minute to score, an excellent individual goal from Andy Barcham.

"We went in 1-0 up and needed the second goal really. They changed their system, went to a 4-5-1 and that made it more difficult for us. We still had one or two chances to increase it but it ended 1-0.

"The lads are doing alright. Jamie Slabber's come back in and adds that quality up front, Ifil looks accomplished at full-back, the boy Barcham has done well and all the first years have done well, so that's good news for the future."
